    The obvious and glaring imbalance in your squad is a lack of a quality SG and a lack of depth at C.

    If it was a live draft, not sure why you'd take Jefferson then Shard right after him, rather than getting a quality SG or C.

    Obvious move is to trade Shard for a good quality SG who can bring you some much needed treys.

    Lack of depth at Center? He's got three (four if Bosh is considered a Center). What more could ask for? Of course Swift, Thomas, and Brezec aren't great centers, but he still has depth in the position. The Shooting Guard position does need addressing though. I don't quite understand the last round pick of Foster either. I'd cut him and pick up the best Shooting Guard available. Then I'd try to package some of those Centers away for a Shooting Guard. Maybe Bosh and Thomas for James Posey, Rose, Hamilton, or someone along those lines. I'd hang on to Brezec and Swift. Brezec has not cooled down since the start of the preseason, and even if he doesn't keep up the same level of play then he'll still get a lot of playing time due to the fact that he plays for the Bobcats. Swift is actually starting to show progress this year. He's a fantasy steal in my book.

    What more could he ask for? A good centre would be a start.

    You can have 6 centres on your roster, but if they're all ordinary fantasy players you have no real depth at all.

    Thomas is the best of his options at the 5, and even he has significant queries over his output in New York.

    Brezec is the single most overhyped player in the game, and Strom is only an ordinary fantasy player unless he gets traded.

    I wouldn't be comfortable with the quality of depth of those centres.

    I think Larry Hughes is a serviceable plug for the SG position even with his reduced role in Washington. On the other hand, I think the C position should be addressed somehow. A good center is hard to find, and people will hoard them if they have them. Thus, it's hard to address in trades after the draft.

    You could target Ilgauskas or Magloire through trades, or maybe an average fantasy C like Blount or Nesterovic with some of your reserves.

    The only guy not currently doing well on your roster is G. Wallace. I think your team should be doing fine.

    You've got a weird league with double G and F positions yet only one C position.

    Anyway, you've got a few too many over-the-hill vets. Miller and Hardaway should be dropped for other replacements. Look for players getting minutes on the waiver wire. I'm not big on Wesley either, but he always produces in spite of my belief that he is in decline.

    I think you're going to need more three point shooters on that team, although Kobe has been launching with regularity. It looks like you have a good core of big men, though.
